The 25 Biggest Deals in Shark Tank History

The biggest numbers on Shark Tank are often remembered as checks the founders took home. This ranking records reported on-air agreements instead. An accepted offer can still depend on licensing, due diligence or other conditions before money changes hands.

The list is ordered by the amounts stored in the index. Some records combine an equity offer with financing, so the headline amount is not always the price paid for a stake. Read the components and conditions alongside the number before comparing two pitches.

The Conditions Behind the Largest Offers

AirCar has the largest recorded amount. Environment News Service reported on May 4, 2015 that Robert Herjavec agreed on air to five million dollars for fifty percent of Zero Pollution Motors, conditional on the company securing rights to manufacture and sell the AIRPod throughout the United States. The nationwide-rights condition is part of the reported offer. An on-air agreement does not establish that the money was paid.

SynDaver Labs has a recorded three million dollar agreement for twenty five percent from Season 6. In a Science interview republished by SynDaver on June 16, 2015, founder Christopher Sakezles described the agreement with Herjavec falling through and his objection to being replaced as CEO. Its place in this ranking reflects the on-air agreement, even though it did not close.

What a 100 Percent Agreement Means

Moki Doorstep’s stored Season 10 record lists a three million dollar on-air agreement with Daymond John for one hundred percent equity. That is a different proposed structure from an investor taking a minority stake while the founders retain the rest.

The percentage describes the recorded terms, not proof that ownership transferred or the founders received three million dollars. Establishing a completed acquisition would require evidence of closing. The percentage alone also tells us nothing about why John made the offer or whether the proposed price was a good one.

Read Equity and Financing Separately

Zipz’s record lists two and a half million dollars for ten percent equity in Season 6. ABC’s February 2, 2015 account confirms that Andrew McMurray accepted Kevin O’Leary’s two and a half million dollar offer in the December 5, 2014 episode. It documents the on-air acceptance, not a completed transfer of funds.

D Best Products needs a different comparison. A company-hosted reprint dated June 8, 2021, attributed to Erica Abott, describes three hundred fifty thousand dollars for twenty percent equity, plus two million dollars in financing at fifteen percent interest. The combined two million three hundred fifty thousand dollar figure is the legacy ranking total, not a pure equity investment. The equity component implies a one million seven hundred fifty thousand dollar valuation. The account does not establish later funding or each shark’s individual contribution.

Other stored agreements include Vengo at two million dollars and ten percent, Ten Thirty One Productions at two million dollars and twenty percent, Rugged Maniac at one million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars and twenty five percent, and X Craft at one million five hundred thousand dollars and twenty five percent. Use the linked records to inspect their terms. Amounts and percentages alone do not establish completed cash payments, investor skill, control rights or the companies’ current value.
